Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Sift together self-rising flour, salt, and pepper into a large bowl. Using a fork or pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. With a fork, stir in buttermilk until dough comes together.
-
Step 2.
Turn out dough onto a floured surface and dust dough with flour. Pat dough into a roughly 1-inch-thick rectangle and fold in half. Repeat this patting and folding step 3 or 4 more times to create flaky layers, but be careful not to overwork the dough or biscuits will be tough.
-
Step 3.
Press dough into a ½-inch-thick rectangle and cut into rounds with a 2¼-inch circle cutter. Reroll scraps only once and cut into rounds (these second-roll biscuits will not rise as tall). Arrange rounds an inch apart on a baking sheet. Bake until tops are lightly golden brown, about 10 minutes.
-
Step 4.
While the biscuits bake, make the honey mustard: In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper to taste. Set aside.
-
Step 5.
When biscuits are cool enough to handle, split them in half using a fork to gently pry the layers apart. Spread honey mustard onto each biscuit bottom. Top with lettuce, avocado slices, tomato, and 2 pieces of bacon. Close sandwiches, secure with a toothpick, and serve.
